paul ryan is stumping in dayton and governor romney will head there this week. his trip will overlap with president obama's campaign stop on wednesday after he leaves the united nations. he has been to the state two dozen times during the presidency. no democrat since president kennedy has won without carrying that state. early voting start as week from now. boat campaigns are making a last-minute push for a statement which just might, might, might decide this election. now to our political reporter. is it that important? really? >>guest: ohio, i think, is the state to watch. there is a reason that both candidates are there this week. obama was there last week. romney was there a few times before that. it is a very big state. it is a very diverts state. it has 18 electoral votes. that is important. winning ohio the candidate can likely win similar states such aspin person and wisconsin where you have some similar voters, working-class voters and that kind of thing. it is on both candidates' radars. >>shepard: what has the polling trend been? obama is up, right?
